CONFERENCE SITE

The symposium will take place at the Royal Tropical Institute, one of the leading research institutes in the Netherlands on agricultural development and tropical health. The Tropical Museum, once a typical anthropological museum, has been transformed into a modern Third World Museum, explaining development topics and paying attention to everyday's life in Third World countries. The museum's permanent exhibition includes fine Indonesian arts.

TRANSPORTATION AND CITY INFORMATION

The venue of ISMM'98 will be Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands. Amsterdam is not merely one of Europe's most beautiful historic cities, but also one of the most livable and lively.

SUBMISSION OF FINAL PAPER:

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings volume published by Kluwer in their Computational Imaging and Vision series. This volume will be available at the beginning of the workshop. The final paper has to be be prepared using the LaTeX typesetting system using the style file provided by the organisers, and should be limited to 8 pages including artwork and references. Final papers have to be sent before February 15. Please read the submission instructions.

These grants will cover traveling expenses (cheapest option), full registration and hotel expenses. The main criterion for achieving a grant is that the applicant is the (first) author of an accepted paper. Selection will be on the base of paper quality. Applications for these grants have to be submitted to the ISMM'98 secretariat.
